Yeah I had about 9 before it ended. I just gave up and started over - it’s difficult to get enough food before the winter. Trying different approaches such as setting 2 colonists to farming. It’s a little slow going gathering crops, maybe because of a low farming level?

Yes, it’s easy to underestimate the amount of food you need to have in storage, especially when new people join you have more mouths to feed.
The farming level doesn’t influence productivity right now. We’re thinking about a well + watering can system together unlocked with the farming level to improve productivity in the future.

Wow that’s amazing! I’ve never bulit a fortress that big. I wonder what you’ll design once we release the next update. I’m working on various new wall and floor types and we’re planning to introduce defensive walls.

If they keep ignoring you for 2 seaons or so, it might be a bug. They should still find you if you move, but maybe they’re dumb
If you send me your save, I can investigate. The save is located in C:\Users\YOUR_USER_NAME\AppData\LocalLow\Oachkatzlschwoaf Interactive/Founders Fortune (it’s almost the same as the screenshot folder) and you can send it to daniel@foundersfortune.com.

Looks like you have a decent amount of food for the winter! Hopefully you can make it through your first (unless you already have by now). I like your 3x3 roads, makes me want to expand on mine, perhaps mixing it with wood.
